stop watching shit

>>142078346
What should I be watching then?

Give a single example of this happening.

Fuck off with your rec thread.

Hyouka. The "energy conservation" stuff pretty much goes right out the window by episode 5 and Oreki just becomes a normal person.

Monogatari series, main character is a super fucking chronic nice guy

>>142080153
Gurren Lagann in episode 11

FLCL

why would you want to watch someone who's "flawed" for more than 3 episodes? it's like watching deku cry about being powerless for 12 episodes. Or watching a dense MC act dense for 200+ episodes. isn't that the whole reason people drop shows? because the characters don't develop fast enough? man, /a/ will complain about anything

Azuma from Yakitate was supposedly bad at cooking anything but bread, but he learns to make noodles around episode 20 and then stamps out all his opponents the rest of the series. Even in bread recipes that required the preparation of fillings other than bread and noodles.

You can have interesting personality flaws. Just look at Shinji.

>are there any shows where the main character has no meaningful character development?
Yes there are, and they're shit.
For example nearly all harems, where the main character never gets over their extreme denseness and indecisiveness since they are merely vessels for self-inserting.
Also any show with Mary Sue MCs who don't have any flaws to begin with.

>>142083789
Because I don't want the exact same protagonist every single time.

One Punch Man. His flaws is that everything dies in one punch and he can't enjoy fights at all. Then genos happened.

>Then genos happened.
Saitama could easily beat Genos in one punch.
Even if you meant to say Boros, he ended up losing in one (serious) punch anyway.

Saitama couldnt beat the mosquito in one punch. Actually he couldn't beat him at all
